    anyqs I'd love to see other stats about each team to go along with time played. Runs scored and runs against is the first thing I thought of when I saw Boston/NYY at the top and SEA at the bottom. Pitches per plate appearance could also be interesting, as could the number of extra inning games. I would also love to see number of nationally televised games because the ESPN/FOX games tend to have longer commercial breaks.

    anyqs I feel like the first think someone would want to know is which of these teams win more. Is the longer length of playing time directly proportional to the records of wins and losses? I do know a enough about baseball to know the answer to that question is a no. So, I would like to see additional stats such as number of at bats, shortest time spent playing defense, just certain things that directly affect the outcome of the game.

    anyqs this seems like way to simple of a figure for what it could display. The overall total playing time for a team would, in my opinion, not be as interesting as comparing players across teams or maybe including the post season

    anyqs As an exchange student, I am not familiar with MLB. Whether each team has to play the same number of games each season? From this chart, I thought it was not with grate help. Because the data are close to each other and I am not sure whether the different color have different meanings

    That's a pretty nice segmented bar chart on the right.

    anyqs How many people did they sample, and did they just find them at bars?

    There seems to be a trend that the lower income bracket prefers beer and the higher income bracket prefers wine. What I find interesting is that all incomes prefer liquor equally. I wonder why this is true? Also it says that last year they surveyed people about their preferences but where did they get the data for previous years? Lastly, it states no information on how reliable the data is or what method of sampling was used. anyqs

    anyqs: I would like to know how big the sample size was. Also, how many of the participants are actual college students? I'd like to see the data on purely college students.

    anyqs: I would definitely like to see some more info on this, the things mentioned above as well as what N/A actually means. Does it mean non drinker? Also I'm guessing that they did not poll anyone under 21. I think there's more non-drinkers than drinkers under 21 but including that group would certainly change things (most likely lessen the wine numbers). Finally, it's not a big deal but the 36% for beer in 2011 appears higher up on the graph than the 36% in 2005.

    I like the energy consumption statistics (the engineering connection) but the whole thing is really cool
